High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 500 MPa and 50 °C induces β-LG into the molten globule state. Retinol, cis-parinaric acid (CPA), and 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) fluorescence from pH 2.5 to 10.5 in the presence of the native and molten globule states of β-LG indicate that retinol binds to β-LG in the calyx, CPA at the surface hydrophobic site, and ANS in multiple hydrophobic sites. HHP treatment results in a decrease of β-LG affinity for retinol and CPA, suggesting conformational changes in the calyx and surface hydrophobic site of β-LG during HHP treatment. β-LG treated by HHP in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide …

Beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG) was treated with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 600 MPa and 50 degrees C for selected times as long as 64 min. The intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of beta-LG indicated that HHP treatment conditions induced a conformational change. HHP treatment conditions also promote a 3-fold increase in the extrinsic fluorescence of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate and a 2.6-fold decrease for cis-paraneric acid, suggesting an increase in accessible aromatic hydrophobicity and a decrease in aliphatic hydrophobicity. Far-ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD) spectra reveal that the secondary structure of beta-LG converts from native beta-sheets to non-native alpha-helices following HHP treatment, whereas near-ultraviolet CD spectra reveal …
